My favorite things..

This post is inspired by Oprah. Say what you want about her, but she really gave away some serious stuff over the years. My favorite of her shows were the Favorite Things shows. I loved watching the audience scream and cry when they got cars, an ipad, shoes, blanket, etc. I found myself screaming in excitement right along with them.  I thought I would share some of my favorite things right now. I can't give away a car, but the first one to respond to my post will get my #1 favorite thing sent to them :) Some are not "things" but you get the idea of things I am loving right now...

7.  Clinique Black Honey lip gloss.

6. Candy Cane Lane Celestial Tea. They only sell it at Christmas. Bought extra to enjoy all year.

5. The TV show Happy Endings. I love it. I laugh OUT LOUD.

4. An American Life: Ronald Reagan Autobiography

3. She and Him. Check them out www.sheandhim.com

2. Hint Water. Raspberrry Lime is my favorite. www.drinkhint.com

AND WAIT FOR IT......

1. Natural Body Pineapple Enzyme Scrub. Pure Heaven. Great for my face, getting rid of dead skin and the smell alone is amazing...

Wish I could give you all a trip to Australia, but this will have to do. Enjoy some of my favorites. Share yours.

My bucket list...

I went with my girlfriends to Hawaii in May and each day we had our bucket list for the day..which mainly included doing nothing by the pool and eating burgers and fries at the Lagoon Grill. It got me thinking...I want to start my before I am 40 bucket list. I have a few years, but some of them might take some planning..

Here are some of my to-dos before the big 4-0!

1. Learn how to surf
2. Take a trip on Amtrak instead of flying
3. Learn some significant Spanish and go somewhere and use it
4. Take a spontaneous trip. Pick a place on Wednesday and leave on Friday
5. Learn how to fish
6. Take a ride on a motorcyle
7. Research my ancestors 
8. Learn to play a new sport and join and actually play for a season
9. Learn to play the guitar (at least a song a two)
10. Go to Italy
11. Go to the taping of a talk show
12. ........

Any other suggestions...

Just a Simple Girl...

Blogging? Me? I have hundreds of journals, but I have never blogged. I thought this morning...so many of my friends blog and I am sure I have something I can share with them in return! I always like for others to share simple tips, hints, a photo, a thought. So here we go!Maybe one person will read this...

For those of you who know me, I am always thinking and I like to talk (stop laughing). I get it from my mom. I learned from an early age the art of talking well. I love to talk on the phone. I like to check in with people and hear their voices. I love to call someone for no reason and I have those I call every day. Do you feel our society is losing the art of personal touch? Of talking face to face or over the phone? 10 years from now are we only going to communicate by text or facebook? What will be the next facebook? Will we live like the Jetsons? That makes me sad. You know what else makes a world of non talkers hard, dating! There are 5 different ways a guy will try to contact you, but calling is the last option. I do understand that most guys do not enjoy talking on the phone, but what is going to happen when we meet in person?  I want to hear your voice, your laugh, if you have an accent, are you polite? I even want to hear your nervousness..it means you are real! Anyone else feel this way? Any phonies out there? I even still write letters...but that is for another post :)I challenge you today to call someone, hear their reaction when you tell them you are just calling to say hey..it will make their day and yours!

Let's keep old school communication alive!

I will leave you with 2 of my favorite people to call...my nephews!
